第九天一、美文晨读To give or not When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly, most of the worlds great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil. Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, some hold the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing ones sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.二、词汇训练1. The b_finally brought the war to an end.2.

There are almost 2000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is quite high and their views are used all over the world. Excellent newspapers like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these give detailed accounts of national and international news, but most tend to limit themselves to state or city news to attract local readers.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers report news from the “exciting” and “relaxing” to the serious. They try to entertain people as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.Just as American newspapers try to satisfy all tastes, they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try their best to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are mainly moderate. Many of these papers print materials by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to give a balanced picture.As in other countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once exposed political scandals, for example, the Watergate Affair(水门事件).1. Which newspaper in the U.K. is national?A. Le Monde.B. Washington Post.C. New York Times.D. The Times.2. Most American newspapers attract readers by carrying_.A. national news B. local newsC. international news D. political news3. In order to win the competition with television, American newspapers have to_.A. give little information B. give serious newsC. give entertainment news D. give national news4. Most daily newspapers attract moderate Americans by_.A. printing articles by well-known journalists of different viewsB. supporting extremist groupsC. exposing political scandalsD. serving the country wellBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken-belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解)can we discover a new meaning in competition.5. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.6. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.7. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means_.A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success8. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. Ones success in competition needs great efforts.C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.9. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.CSteve Jobs made technology fun.
